So being exhausted after work today, I decided to watch the replay of the mixed team time trial from this morning because I find time trials chill to have on in the background while I do other work, and I have the following thoughts:
I love the Afghanistan team so much for being there and I'm very proud of them, especially the woman who finished after falling at the start. Good job, guys! That's really hard, and you did so well!
I want more countries to try this discipline, because I think it's really cool, and also I love that this is a sport that forces countries to consider that ALL of their athletes, no matter their gender, are on the same team.
And yet it highlights some of those entrenched gender disparities that we absolutely know exist in sports-- like, I cannot tell you how annoyed I am when I see that the men's side of a relay all have fancy TT bikes and aero helmets and profile bars, and the women are on road bikes with minimal alterations. Like, you really aren't even attempting to invest, are you?
A million badass points to the Italian cyclist who unclipped and went 'round a corner with only one foot in because she was trying to fix her chain by kicking the derailer at the same time. Was it safe? No. Should you do that? Also no. Was it impressive as hell? Yeah, definitely.
I am very impressed by anyone who rode this time trial today who also rode the men's road race on Sunday. I have no idea how Bettiol and Kung and Craddock and Matthews and Powless et al didn't just, like, vomit at the thought of doing YET MORE circuits. (It should be noted, however, that I thought the men's road race was AMAZING and I loved watching it. Although I'm pretty certain it was literal hell to ride.)
Dude, Team USA: I know we got the money. Maybe we should make sure that Neilson Powless's skinsuit actually fits him? Considering that he's about the biggest name we sent to do any of the road race disciplines for these World Champs, it seems like we should maybe try a little harder. Because those shorts were ABSURDLY SHORT and I was about to die laughing.
Like, we are inching perilously towards booty shorts territory there, y'all.
And finally:
I have no idea what was going on with Switzerland on that podium. They were just absolutely vibing up there-- playing with the adorable Highland coo plushies everyone on the podium gets, chatting away while getting their jerseys, and it totally looked like Kung was making some sort of smart remark right as the anthem started playing and Marlen Reusser sort of turned to him, like, "You are gonna get us all in trouble with the teacher, pls shut up."

how can you not love a man getting back to such a good level after that harrowing crash. The drama of the 16 sec he had left in one of the mountain stages in the tour of 2022 was *chef's kiss*

I’m watching the first stage, and I don’t see Neilson Powless taking KOM points. When does he get the climber’s jersey? Did he get it only from the last climb’s points?
